    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “I purchased this great car in 1986 while I headed a family company in Calgary, Alberta. I flew to Victoria BC and was met by renowned Gullwing restorer Rudi Koniczek. He was selling the Ferrari which had been “Chunky” Woodward’s, part of a famed department store and ranching family in BC. I had only owned 356s and early 911s, so was nervous about my first V12 Ferrari. We took a lap of Victoria which will be forever etched in my memory. Spectacular car. I drove it to Calgary, right over the…”

    “Thanks! This is actually a gift for my brother who lost a ’97 LS400 Blk/Blk to the tin worm years ago. Best car he had ever owned – very excited to win this car!”

    “Hi to all. Yes I am happy to own an Elan again. I use to own an Elan S4 1970 back in 1971 in New York and I’ve never stopped missing it since I sold it after a couple of years ….even dreaming about it every now and then!”

    “My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger…”

    “So glad it has retained a flathead engine over the years / updates, and not a 350 or other replacement. This car is MEANT for that flathead.”

    “I owned two 1976 Trans Ams back in the ’80s and ’90s: a 400 4spd and a 455 4spd. They are really special cars. I often notice TA owners leave the shaker hood scoops sealed, and I wonder why. It takes a few minutes to remove the plate and the intake noise completely changes the driving experience and adds some power. My friends would ask me to get on it just so they could hear the roar from the shaker scoop which sounded like it would suck in animals and small children if they were too close.…”

    “My dad is a 90 year old retired firefighter. I’m wondering what he would say if I showed up in his driveway with this for his upcoming birthday. He’d probably figure out a way to water his tomato plants with it… 🤔😂”

    “The previous owner was a good friend of mine that has now gone to the garage in the sky. Seeing this brings up some great memories and I like to think he’s watching the auction from above. This was his final sale before he passed, he was pretty much in his last days during the auction. I was so pleased the auction went so well for him at the time. One final time at BAT and he hit it out of the park! Love ya an miss ya Joe!
    And to the next owner of this amazing rig…congrats in advance,…”

    “My family has been the proud steward of this remarkable 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham for nearly 70 years, and it has been one of our most treasured possessions. My father purchased this car new in 1957 as a gift to my mother, and it has been a part of our family’s story ever since.
    My father, Ralph S. Peer, was a pioneering figure in the American music industry; the A&R executive behind some of the most historically significant recordings ever made, including Crazy Blues, the first…”

    “The car that blasted through Porsche RR7 at Laguna Seca Raceway in Oct 2023. I could remember being invited to the unveiling of the GT3 R Rennsport. Patrick Long was introducing this beauty in the hot pits at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of garage 12. Great memories capturing this beauty through the crowd of enthusiasts and gear heads at 9:30 pm at night after day one of Porsche’s RR7. One of the best modern day GT cars by Metzger and Porsche.”

    “A cool Ferrari moment I thought I would share, the Mondial was the only model Ferrari pope John Paul II was ever seen in. This picture comes from the Pope’s visit to the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy back in 1988. He later celebrated Mass at the Fiorano Circuit racetrack. Instead of traveling in the regular Popemobile that day, the Pope took a ride in one of the Ferraris that was waiting for him at the factory. The mondial remains an icon with timeless pininfarina lines, mid…”

    “This is about as thoughtful of a build as they come. The TJM T17 is the best aftermarket bumper in my opinion. I’m curious about the Kenwood touch screen – I’ve got an ’03, and am not familiar with this navigation delete.”

    “My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
    When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”
